News Meeting: UK in recession and has the vegan bubble burst?

What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise’s deputy editor Giles Whittell.

In this episode the Tortoise team are joined by food critic and podcaster Jimi Famurewa. They discuss the news that the UK is officially in an economic recession, a huge rise in antisemitic abuse since the Hamas attack on Israel and what the closure of the last two Veggie Prets tells us about our commitment to a plant-based diet.
